Alexander B. Donovan

Alex rolled his eyes. “Scandelous, seriously? The most scadelous thing you’ve ever done was eat ice cream for breakfast.” He couldn’t help but laugh at his own stupid joke. But it was true. Jamie was good.

Oliver watched the other.r “why would he hate you Alex…” he admitted to the other. “And what would be bad about us being in laws?” He questioned. Before hearing about Jamie. “Wait…wait… you and Jamie… since when…and why was I not informed about this.?” He asked.

“Well I’m the reason—..” Alex was cut off by the next question, “Wouldnt he horr—..” and once again. When the question of Jamie came up, Alex’s eyes widened. He could of sworn he mentioned it to Oliver. Oliver was like his brother. “Yeah uh—…” and then it hit him. Alex hadn’t told anyone because Jamie wanted it to be a secret. “Been a few months… with her.. I mean…”

Oliver’s eyes were wide as he listened to Alex. “Dude you should be telling me things like this… I don’t tell anyone those sort of things.” He reminded the other. “But do tell… I have to admit it’s not something I foresaw.”

“Uhh…” Alex shrugged a bit. There were genuine feelings for Jamie…. but at the same time he didn’t know why they started dating. Alex liked her, yeah… but there had always been an uneasy feeling. Keeping it a secret made him feel uneasy. “She’s cool.” Was all he managed to say. All he managed to think. Jamie was nice… they’d been friends for a while… but to Alex that was about it. friends.

Oliver watcher the male and frowned a little. “Alex…” he started before staying quiet for a moment. “Shes cool is not really something that you spend the rest of your life with someone for…” he admitted. “Are you sure that’s all it is?” He questioned. He didn’t want to push it to much.

“Uh...” No. That was the funny thing about Oliver. He was always able to make it make sense. He got Alex’s head. “I just— I don’t want to hurt her...” He got out, “The last thing I need is for Jamie to hate me because I’m stuck on my ex, who I’m in love with by the way, and have her think I used her.” The words seemed to come out fast. The whole thought of it all made Alex anxious. “And what about Li.. god I pushed him away and every time we see each other we just— argue. He probably thinks I despise him.”

Riley and Alex did spend a lot of time together. Most days were spent with Riley. “Need to get them...” he smiled sweetly, “The tackier the better... so— your choice.”

“Uh...” God you look so pretty. And I totally miss you and am still in love with you... but see I have a girlfriend but she isn’t you... He thought, but what a stupid thing to say. So, Alex just picked up the drink and took a sip of it, shrugging, “You know..” He set it down, “Work—...” I miss you. “Hanging out with Jamie...” Would rather be with you. “Normal kid things...”

“Jamie wants to be alone with me?” Alex raised a brow, a smile smirk on his lips, “Well I never pictured you as the scandalous types, Miss Mikaelson...”

Santa. Of course. Alex thought for a moment. “Well the line will probably be out the door and around the block—...” He mumbled. Honestly, despite that line Alex didn’t mind. Usually Riley would talk to him and the time would fly by. “Plus you promised last year that this years photo with Santa we’d wear matching pajamas and look like total idiots.”

“We do need to start our yearly rituals...” he stated. It all started when they were young; the two families going out to look our decorated houses. Then Alex and Riley started their own traditions together. “What’s first on the list this year, Riley Bear..?”

Oliver watched the other.r “why would he hate you Alex…” he admitted to the other. “And what would be bad about us being in laws?” He questioned. Before hearing about Jamie. “Wait…wait… you and Jamie… since when…and why was I not informed about this.?” He asked.

“Well I’m the reason—..” Alex was cut off by the next question, “Wouldnt he horr—..” and once again. When the question of Jamie came up, Alex’s eyes widened.

Jamie was nice... they’d been friends for a while... but to Alex that was about it. friends.

Ace watched the other and sighed a little. “Was… she was..when everything happened…. and she lost it…afterwards. so knowing there should be a two year old running around this christmas is hard. ” ace stated.

Alex swallowed. He had no idea of the miscarriage and it broke him a bit more. “I—I’m really sorry— for—for everything…”

Ace shook his head to the male. “Alex it’s okay… I have never ever felt any anger or that sort of emotion to you for it. Your my baby brother… I am suppose to protect you, and I did…and I am never going to be sorry for that.” Ace assure him.

The problem was... Alex has already convinced himself. He convinced himself that it was his fault. Ace would still be here. Charlotte wouldn’t hate him. Alaska would be happier. Life would be better. And a part of him would of rather it been him instead of Ace. “I should of just walked home...” he mumbled, “And you would still be here...”

“Well.” He leaned forward, elbow on the table, and chin in his hand, “it’s the holiday season and all the best and most cosy treats come out. Gingerbread and peppermint and my all time favorite— chocolate.”

Alex couldn’t help but light up when he saw Riley. “Ri!” He perked, wanting more then anything to hug tackle her, “I’m stupendous! Sit! Sit!”

“So far...” Alex took a sip of his warm drink, “Three peppermint chocolate hot chocolates... half a sugar cookie... and a slice of some loaf.” He smiled a bit when his sister smiled. It was rare he ever saw the sight. And when he did, his heart grew even bigger, “However once the gingerbread rolls in— consider me a lost cause, Alaska...”

Alex swallowed and grabbed the nearest bag of chips. It had been a hot moment since they had alone time together. Usually going out to a restaurant or a movie... there were always people around. “So where are we going exactly...?”

Alex was a bit shocked to see Liam. Not that he’d seen him around. “I uh—...” Alex’s gaze fell back to the empty seat across from him. “Yeah— yeah of course...” he managed to get out, nerves bubbling inside him.

Ace watched the other and sighed a little. “Was… she was..when everything happened…. and she lost it…afterwards. so knowing there should be a two year old running around this christmas is hard. ” ace stated.
